Henry Grobe and Mr. Berg

April 2, 1862, Mr. Berg, who lived seven miles east of Fredericksburg,
started to town. He was alone, and while on his way, killed by seven
Indians. From there, the savages went on toward the home of Henry
Grobe who lived about twelve miles northeast of Fredericksberg on
Willow Creek. About 8:00 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Grobe, unarmed,
started to fix his field fence and had only gone about a quarter of
a mile when the seven savages dashed forward and soon slaughtered
him. Mr. Grobe was buried at Fredericksburg.

Note: Before writing this section, the author personally interviewed
SIB. Grobe, a son of Henry Grobe, and others.
